Mixtape suggestion from a casual

The idea of Mixtape was a great addition to the game that I applaud Respawn for. It is extremely fun to play AND a great way to warm up. Though, mixtape is a shadow of its former self as is has become a challenge to enjoy.

When TDM was released I found warming up to be extremely fun / better than shooting dummies in a vast and empty range that leaves one feeling lonely. However, when TDM was added into the Mixtape with Control and Gun Run warming up or just wanting to shoot something that is not a dummy has turned into a mission. Not a mission that is fun but a mission that is as headache inducing as AC4 trail missions, or the parkour sections of Star Wars Fallen Order. Which is why I would like to propose the idea of being able to select the game mode you want to play.

The biggest Con with this is that a game mode could become "dead" / not played leaving its beloved enjoyers sitting in queue with that "3 players in queue" message. With this in mind, the game mode selection system would allow the mixtape team to view and understand why one game mode is better than the other, which will hopefully want the team to either rotate it out with another new mode (Like FFA or maybe a better versions of Arenas) or even rework the suffering game mode.

I really enjoyed Apex Mixtape on release but it is not what it used to be. PLEASE Respawn it needs change, whether that be making Gun Run solo / remove leap frogging guns or for Control removing / putting a timer on placeables in a radius of a zone. There needs to be change and at least test out Mixtape game mode selection over the holidays. It will not hurt to try!

I have attempted to make a wireframe of the screen, obviously not a good one, but Please could we test this out?
